'Flee Major• General begs to express his thanks 4o Lient.-Colond the Lion. L. Stanhope, for the .romptitude and vigour with which the arrange inents were made for the attack, and the spirit with ,whieh it was condncted ; and he returns his atknotvledgments to the whole of the detachment for the intrepidity and activity which they dis played eluting the attack and pursuit of the enemy. The conduct of Captain Adams and .Cornet Mar- Tioq has been represented to the Major-General in favourable terms, and he is happy to express his unqualified approbation of the gallantry of both these Officers. Lieutenant Jarvis's unremit ting exertions have been repeatedly brought to the Major-General's notice, and he feels tho roughly sensible of their importance on this °edi ion, front the experience he has had of that Offi ,cer's valuable services. Letters from General Pritzler's Camp at Wy ratghnr, dated the 26th of March; report the sur render also of the forts of Ntingdun and Pun dooghur on the preceding day, and those of Korn tnolgitr and Wyratgbur on the 26th, and that Kenzelghtir was invested. General Smith was near Rakishone on the 24rh. The PeishWa's troops had broken into several bodies ; it was not known with which division Bajee Row had gone. Some other bodies are moving east and north-east. General Doveton was at Lassour, in Candeish, on the 19(h, and in pursuit of the enemy. Extract of a Letter from General SmlTU's Camp, on the Clunga, March 19. We hare marched unremittingly since the 10th of the month, when the force left Soorah ; to-day we halted. Bajee Row is supposed to be about 20 coss from us, in the Jaulnah direction. 'The camp is very healthy, but the cattle are con siderably knocked np; forage too is becoming very dear. )Hew ,General Officers share fatigue so equally with their troops as Brigadier General Smith. His division has great confidence in hint, and fti, I certain that his talents and enterprise will compass whatever is within the limits of possibility." " Accounts from General Smith mention, that he was at Rakestone on the 20th ; and we have a report that Bajee Row was on the 16th only' 25 miles south of Jaulnah. The Bazar reports'. say, he has again turned south. Sir Thomas 1-lislop has gone to Ellora and Aurangabad ; and Major Lushingt i on, with his cavalry brigade, 4th and 80,11 regiments, are halting here, having been placed under General Smith's orders. The Bombay troops, with General Pritzler, consist of the 'Bombay Park and Commissariat; Capt. Nutt, Lieutenants M‘Leod and Athill, Bombay Engi neers ; the Bombay Toughs, Ist battalion 7th regiment, and 2d battalion 9th regiment, and Pioneers. The Madras troops are the flank corps, composed of the flank companies of the 30th, 34th, 53,1, and 84th regiments, detachment of Light Artillery, Lieutenant-Colonel Dalrymple, Lieut. Grant, Engineers, 4 companies of native Rifle Co►p', 2d Bittalion 12th Regiment, and a de tacbinent of Pioneers. [From the Bombay Gazette of April 81 'flie force under Colonel lmlach Was expected to march against Bughwuntgbur about the 25th of last month, and we expect to hear daily that it is in our possession. The fot ts of Naughurry and \Vyrantghur have surrendered to General Pritzler's force on being summoned ; and those of Pandooghur, Cum molgloir, and Kendeighur, after a trifling resist ance, to a detachment under the command of Major Thacker, which had been sent to invest them. We may consider the Pintlary power, which ryas recently spreading such alarm and dismay, and rapidly advancing to the same degree of influ ence over the Government of Scindia and Holkar, as it had acquired over the Rajpoor States of Ilindostan ; which was extending its predatory escursions over territories which had, under the protection, enjoyed years of tranquillity, ,tar; wlmcb threatened to establish in Hindostan • power systematically prosecuting annually a war of id, ode r arid devastation upon their neighbours, • c.mpletely annihilated ; and we feel persuaded tttit hereafter we shall hear flocking more of the t•ihe, but its name ; whilst the traditionary tales which will descend to atter ages of its cruelties • rapacious acts, will leave among those re s,,cel iible States that have been rescued from its destructive and insolent domination, a grateful recollection of the blessings that India has de rived from the supremacy of the British power. The celebrated Chieftain Kurreem Khan, and his urcitew and adopted son Namdas Khan, who had surrendered themselves, have had lands assigned for the maintenance of themselves, their families, rain dependants, in Coruckpoor, Mirza Kityder l'orksh ; and their principal adherents also thrown themselves upon the clemency tit the Governor-General. \V a sil M a homed and Chet-tor), we believe, are still at large ; but they Lave beet? eto vigoroudy followed up, and the miserable condition to wl.4icli they have been con retinccd Ills so diminished the dread which the inhabitants entertained of their:power, t ha , unless they make their sitbmissinn; we anticipate, fall victims to that sririt:ot...f4ii vity with which the villto4ers, who haye:s-s6 se verely buffeted from their depredation; • are -- co operating in !heir seizure, wherever the PitithireeS remote to tn...ke their appearance.. (F r om the itynthrty Cwgrier of April. It.) Adviees hum .I,Zvnbieparra,•tlateat 28th March, mention, that 71 detachment tvhich bad been sent wit tooter Lieutenant Crosby, of the...sth Native Infani►y, had succevded in capturing a consider- Hblc qn.intity of treasure, which iit►tl been taken away front Koarree previoitSly to our investment of that fortress. Since the lot egoing was written, we have had the gr,tificatioh to receive accounts, dated Camp, near IViisoirth. 6th April, which announce the surrender of that fort on the morning of the 6th, after a day's bombardment. Tile immense natural strength of this fortress has rendered its reduction a work of more ditliculty,antriime than that of most of the other strong fortresses which have fallen to our arms. Brigadier-General Pritzler first sent, under the command of Colonel Hewit, the flank battalion, rifle corps, flank companies of the 12th Madras Native infantry, and 7th bat talion Brit ish Native Infantry, to invest the place; hut as this force had no guns with it, the Killedar refused to surrender. By great exertion, the ele phants got three mortars and a light howitzer over the Koat Ghaut ; the investing force was then joined by Mr. Elphinstone, the General and his Staff, and Colonel Dalrytnple, with the Ma dras and Bombay Artillery. After infinite labour (the shells being all carried up by hand), the mor tars were got into position, and the excellent manner in which they were served 'soon induced the Killedar to surrender. At the time the letter was dispatched, Messrs. Hunter and Morrison had not reached the camp.; hut we are happy to perceive that it was ascertained they were safe and well on the evening of the 5111, and were seen walking on the works after the surrender of the fort. The Rajah's elephants and palanquins had been sent from the camp to the fort, to bring down the ladies of his family. The garrison had about 30 killed and wounded during the bom bardment. GENERAL ORDERS. Bombay Castle, April 2. By the Right Hon. the Governor in Council. The Right Hon. the Governor in Council has mach plea sure in announcing the abandonment of the Fort of Seed glair by the enemy, after a practicable breach had been made in the ramparts, and the troops under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel Imlack, C. B. were on the point of storming. The Right Hon. the Governor in Council has received from Brigadier-General Smith, through the Hon. M. Elpbinstone, the following letter, with enclosure, reporting an affair highly creditable to the conduct of Subebdar Shekh Peer Mahomed, of the Ist Battalion 4th Regiment of Bombay Native Infan try, commanding at Hewra : To the Hon. M. Elphinstone, Commissioner, &c. SIR.-1 do myself the honour to enclose a translation re port from Soohelidar Peer Mahonted, of the Ist Battalion 4th Regiment, commanding at Hewra, an outpost from Toka, stating his hawing marched his detachment, which altogether consisted of about 50 men of that regiment, against a body of the enemy that threatened to plunder the neighbourhood. Peer Alahomed killed four of the enemy, and took seven pri soners, with the loss of one killed of his party, and three wounded. It is not often that native officers have opportu nities of displaying by themselves their zeal and judgment. The present is an extremely creditable instance of those qualities, which I hope you will have the goodness to bring to favourable notice. I am, &c. (Signed) L. SMITH, Brigadier-General.

Camp Owreah, on the left hank of the Jutnna, Feb. el. The Governor-General and Commander-in-Chief cannot quit the field without uttering his best acknowledgments to the officers commanding the several divisions of the combined army, for the signal zeal and ability with which each has ful filled the part assigned him in the late extensive operations. To Lieut.-General Sir Thomas Hislop it might seem super fluous to offer praise; yet there are titles to applause which should not be absorbed in the lustre of victory. The temper and forbearance with which his Excellency, possessing all the consciousness of superiority from the quality of his troops, endeavoured to avoid a rupture with Holkar, and the judg ment with which he improved success, after his conciliatory efforts had failed, demand high commendation. The chival rous intrepidity displayed by Brigadier-General Sir John Malcolm, in the battle of Mehudpore, and the admirable tact manifested by hint in the subsequent negotiations, advanced the public interest no less than they distinguished the indi viduals; while the relief of the Residency at Nagpore, atsd the defeat of the Rajah's force, through the prompt and de cisive energy of Brigadier-General Doveton, complete the dignified exploits of the army of the Deckan, north of the Godavery. Major-General Sir Wm. Grant heir, with the Bombay di vision from Guzerat, has exhibited most meritorious activity, with important advantage to the issue of the campaign. The leaders of the Bengal divisions have similar claims on the Governor-General's approbation. The vigilance and ju dicious movements by which Major-General Marshall con strained the Pindarees in their retreat to keep that route to which the Commander-in-Chief indicated his plan of confin ing them, were of extraordinary consequence. Lieut.-Colonel Adams, with his division, ably co-operated in this object; and he subsequently, by the skilful direction of his detach ment, gave the finishing blow to the remnant of the Pin darees, which had excelled by an incalculable chance, when nearly surrounded by the two divisions already mentioned, and by that of Major-General Dookin. The strenuous exer tions and scientific marches of the latter Officer cut off the retreat attempted by the Pindarees towards the North—a derangement of their plans which precipitated their destruc tion, whence the service was equally creditable to the Major- General,and beneficial to the public. Though the course of events did not give to Major-General Sir David Ochterlouy any opening for the exercise of that vi gour and resource which have so brilliantly distinguished his former professional commands, there can be no one in this army unable to comprehend how solidly effectual the posi tions aud conduct of the Major-General have been in promot ing the object of tranquillizing Central India. Fortune was more favourable to Major-General Brown in , presenting opportunities ; and he availed himself of them with a decision and style of arrangement affording honour able proof of his military talents. Brigadier-General flardyman, by a gallant and well-con ducted action, reduced a considerable territory, and extin guished an opposition which threatened to be t ro ublesome ; and the judicious disposition which Brigadier-General 'I (June made of his force prevented any enemy attempting to dis tract our attention from the objects of the campaign by an inroad into Behar. If the conduct of Brigadier-Gcnerals Smith, Munro, and Pritzler, in the Puona State, be But here particularized, it is only because their operations are still in process, so that the praise which could be awarded, large as it would he, might prove inadequate to achievements, the annunciation of which has not reached the Governer-General. Throughout the late enterprize, the alacrity and indefati gable exertions of every department in the army have herd such as t 4 deserve the Governor-General and Commander-in - Chief's warm approbation. _ . The alteration produced within three monthi in the state of central India is beneficial to the inhabitants, in a degree which the most sanguine could scarcely have ventured to hope : and to every Officer who has been engaged in this U - d e rtaking, the remembrance of having had a share in effect ing a change so interesting to humanity will keep pace with that consciousness of having advanced the prosperity of the Hon. Company by efforts of zeal and courage, for which the Governor-General offers his sincere thanks, however unequal that acknowledgment may be to the merit which calls it forth.

Reade.—The hearer can wait fur the same. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) G. GORREQUEft, Major, Act. Md. See. Barry O'Meara, Esq. Longwood. LONGWOOD, APRIL 17, 1818 SlR,—Wben I received his Excellency's directions on the 12th inst. my first step was to proceed to Napoleon Buona parte, in order to acquaint him that I had determined to give in my resignation, and to express my regret for the necessity under which I was of doing so. Finding bin), however, in disposed and in bed, I did not think proper to communicate it to him, and I therefore wrote a letter to Count Bertrand, in which I begged of him to do so; of that letter I have pre served no copy, but the tenor of it was nearly similar to that which I had the honour to address to his Excellency the same day. Having until now discharged my duty in an honourable manner, I must anxiously brg leave to solicit my discharge from the humiliating situation in which I am placed at pre sent, and will feel obliged for any acceleration of my depar ture, which you may hare it in your power to obtain. I remain, Sir, &c. BARRY E. O'MEARA, Surgeon. To Major Gorrequer, Act. Mil. Sec . PLANTATION HOUSE, APRIL 18, 1918. SIR,—I have laid your letter of yesterday before the Go vernor, whom it has not satisfied. Your first step, on receiving his instructions, if you found a difficulty to comply with them, was to have made known the same to him, or to have acquainted him with your intention to resign, if you preferred taking such a step to seeking any alteration of them. Your last step, considered as a point of duty 'your reso lution was founded on any instruction received from the Governor), should have been not to have acquainted Napo leon Buonaparte with any thing of the matter until you had the Governor's concurrence for making known the same to hiss. That you bad the intention to resign has long since been known. Your letter to Count Bertrand, without the Governor hav ing seen it, and before you bad thought fit to address him, was a direct breach of the. regulations, for which, and all con sequence of which, you are responsible. If it referred to any instruction received from the Gover nor, it was your duty to have kept a copy of it; yon can oh thin that from Count Bertrand, or can borrow the original from him to copy. In asking leave to copy the letter it is not necessary to ac quaint him that it is to send to the Governor, and thus per haps furnish a motive for his refusal. The Governor can accept no excuse for your not sending the copy required, as he wants to send it to Government, and as the means are fully within your reach to obtain that copy. It is, therefore, unnecessary to again address me, unless for the purpose of inclosing it. I am, Sir, &c. &c. &c. G. GORREQUER, Major, Act. Mil. Sec. Barry O'Meara, Esq. Surgeon. P.S.—lf you object sending a copy of the letter lest it might lead to your own condemnation, I am directed to ob serve that the fact of your having written the letter was known on the day you addressed Count Bertrand by his com munication to me, and the withholding a copy of it would therefore furnish stronger grounds for official notice.

This i 3 said to be a favourite plan of the Emperor Alexander, and is the same as was once entertained by Henry IV. of France. It was brought forward again (it we mistake not) at the close of the last century, and this in a very sensible and remarkable woik, called '' The Cosmopolitical Schirach," which was published tit Vienna, and immediately suppressed, and of which we saw a copy about ten years ago, as far as we can recollect. The system proposed that all the independent European States ‘vere to form a Confederation, at the head of which the Monarchs of Great Britain, Austria,France, and Russia, were to be placed by turns by election for a certain time (we believe three years). The book treated also of the excess of population in Europe which would necessarily ensue, and in order to al e l l t h e ev il s which would result- from this, the author propos ed the conquest and civilization of the North of Africa, and the founding of new Colonies in South America.
